Streamer Jynxzi Launches Esports Team, Signs Rainbow Six Roster

Streamer Nicholas "Jynxzi" Stewart has founded his own esports organisation, Jynxzi Esports, and signed a Rainbow Six Siege roster. The announcement came in early November 2026 during the BLAST R6 Major in Osaka, Japan. The official R6 Esports account confirmed the new organisation's entry into the professional scene.

The move takes one of the best known names in Rainbow Six Siege streaming into team ownership. Stewart built his name on Rainbow Six Siege streaming. He now runs an organisation that carries his own name and will compete in the North American scene.

A roster with recent titles

Jynxzi Esports signed the former FYR Strays roster. The five players are Ethan "Franklin" Franklin, Ryan "Mingo" Hall, bootz, jayyguns and Loo. Chixtt joins as substitute.

The roster arrives with results behind it. The team won the NA Open Cup in Palmetto Bay. The team also won the NA Open Cup Finals in Salt Lake City. Those two titles give the new organisation a squad that has already won events before it plays its first match under the new name.

That record matters for a new organisation. A fresh brand often starts with an untested lineup. Jynxzi Esports starts with a group that has played together and has lifted trophies together.

A route to the first division

The team has qualified for the playoff stage of the North American Last Chance Qualifier for the Six Invitational 2027. That run gives the roster a direct shot at one of the biggest events in the game.

The team will also play the Challenger Finals. Winning that event earns promotion to the first division of the BLAST R6 North America League for the 2027 season.

The two paths frame the first months for the organisation. One path leads toward the Six Invitational 2027. The other leads toward a place in the top league for 2027. Both paths rest on results the roster has already earned and on the matches still to come.

From streaming to ownership

Stewart is not new to running competitions. He has previously run tournaments in Rocket League, Fortnite and League of Legends. Those events sit outside Rainbow Six Siege and show a wider interest in competitive play across several games.

His standing in the game also reaches into the product itself. Publisher Ubisoft has released official in-game cosmetic bundles in his honour. Few streamers receive that kind of recognition from a publisher.

The launch was reported on Nov 9, 2026, while the Osaka Major runs from Nov 6 to Nov 15, 2026. The timing placed the announcement in the middle of a Major week, when attention across the Rainbow Six Siege scene is at its highest.

The next test is on the server. The roster must now carry its Open Cup form into the Last Chance Qualifier playoffs and the Challenger Finals, where promotion and a place at the Six Invitational 2027 are on the line.
